Real wisdom doesn't fit so easily on a bumper sticker.

An asshole misquotes BF and you fall in line with the nonsense.
Figures.

It seems that I was wrong about the quote.

Before some get carried away with hero worship regarding Ben Franklin
quotes, here's another one of his to consider:


“I am for doing good to the poor, but...I think the best way of doing
good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or
driving them out of it. I observed...that the more public provisions
were made for the poor, the less they provided for themselves, and of
course became poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them,
the more they did for themselves, and became richer.”

? Benjamin Franklin

That won't resonate well with our liberal and progressive friends.

As long as Dick didn't leave a spelling error in there, all they can do
is call names

Who left the dick in you?
